Funnily enough, she isn’t the only complicated character the reader comes across the span of the story. Naoko, Toru’s dead best friend’s girlfriend who then gets involved with Toru, is a lot more complicated character, and even at the end of the story, I do not think anyone completely understood her, including Toru. ![]() And maybe I’m being too sensitive, but this guy slept around a lot throughout this whole novel! This got very frustrating to me at times and I felt like whacking him multiple times throughout the story honestly. He gave me Nick Carraway vibes from The Great Gatsby (which is his favourite book, so coincidence?) because he spends the majority of his life being a passive observer of his friends’ lives. Though he is the main character, Toru was not my favourite character in Norwegian Wood. As the story really delves into Toru’s memories, the reader ends up really face-to-face with his inner workings and emotions, so it is really interesting how I felt like I was hijacking Toru’s body. ![]()
